  • Storybook Squares
rdfs:comment
  • For six weeks in 1976-77 on Hollywood, the Storybook name and format were revived within the regular timeslot. Big Bird appeared as himself on December 19, 1977, and as with previous appearances addressed Marshall as "Mr. Marshmallow", akin to his difficulties with Mr. Hooper's name.
  • Storybook Squares was a children's version of The Hollywood Squares with the nine celebrities dressed as famous historical and storybook figures. Sometimes, a celebrity would be dressed as a character they're known for playing on TV, such as Carolyn Jones as Morticia Addams (from The Addams Family), Arte Johnson as the German soldier from Laugh-In, or William Shatner as James Kirk (from Star Trek). The set of the 1969 spinoff had a cartoon-esque set, whereas the set used for the special 1970s weeks was heavily decorated to resemble a Medieval theme.
